“Tag: Shotshells”

When Winchester first released its popular Varmint X line of ammunition, the engineers were going for something fast and flat with minimal recoil. What wasn't offered in the original Varmint X line, though, was ammunition for those who prefer to deploy their favorite scattergun against feral hogs, coyotes and other predators. That's changing in 2016, as Winchester has officially announced a new 12-gauge shotshell addition to the Varmint X line.

Browning Ammunition has continued to trickle out its new releases this summer. The most recent addition to the club: BXD Waterfowl Extra Distance.

Kim Rhode made history in Rio, becoming the first American athlete—and first female athlete, from anywhere—to medal in six consecutive Olympic Games. Rhode's longtime sponsor, Winchester, is celebrating the history-making achievement by once again featuring Rhode on boxes of AA target loads.

Winchester’s new E-Tech environmentally friendly shotshell utilizes wads made from biopolymers that are certified as home compostable.

Federal Premium's new HEVI-Bismuth shotshells give hunters the confidence of lead performance in a non-lead pellet, boasting a heavy-hitting payload of 9.6g/cc density pellets that are 22 percent denser than steel. 

HEVI-Shot has expanded its shotshell line to include its 12 g/cc tungsten shot in .410-bore. This shot is over 50 percent more dense than traditional steel shot, making the HEVI-XII a logical choice for those who like to hunt waterfowl with the sub-gauge shotguns.

Federal has introduced an all-new shotshell line for 2017: The Hi-Bird shotshell.

Although just 1.75-inch long, Federal’s new Shorty shotshells offer similar patterns, energy and accuracy as full-size counterparts, and are perfect for teaching new hunters how to handle a full-sized shotgun.

As waterfowl seasons have begun to open across the country, Browning Ammunition is offering hunters another ammunition option for their excursions afield.
